Instructions
In a large mixing bowl combine ½ cup milk, ½ cup apple cider, ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, ½ cup honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon cinnamon extract and 2 large eggs. Whisk until evenly combined.
In another large mixing bowl combine 2 cups bread flour, 2 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon nutmeg and ¾ teaspoon salt. Whisk until evenly combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined. Toss the diced apples lightly in flour and using a spatula, gently fold them into the batter.
Spray a 9x5 inch bread loaf pan with olive oil or grease generously with butter. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake in an oven preheated to 350℉ for 60-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the bread from the oven and let cool 10-15 minutes before removing from the pan. Allow to cool completely on a wire cooling rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
Store sliced bread in an airtight container for 3 days at room temperature, in the fridge for 7-10 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
